Time Guru Metronome App Reviews

I find this very useful for practicing musical pieces, and learning how to keep a steady tempo. I also use this app for paced breathing exercises to help improve my heart rate variability.

there does not appear to be a simple explanation anywhere on line on how to use this thing. So its useless and very FRUSTRATING. I was trying to combine repetitive triplet/sixteenth notes and for the life of me... uggghhhh!!!! Still struggling with this — I never use it as its hard to clear

This is a great tool for all musicians, get it and get to work!

Thanks to whoever designed this! I’ve never rated or reviewed an app but want to highly recommend this as a great tool. Really well designed and more flexible than most metronome apps that are hemmed in by the concept of meter.

A serious metronome, including really intuitive compound meters, written by a serious musician for other serious musicians. Thanks so much!

Being able to easily input rests and any combination of best groupings make this a must have app. Also, the random mute feature is great when you really want to test yourself and see how well you are internalizing the beat!

This is a wonderful idea but it has a bug. I can no longer get rid of a set of four notes once I create it. I’ve tried resetting the app as well as redownloading. Please fix this because it will make this the best metronome out there.

If you want to work on your time, this is the app for you. I use it every time I practice.

Very confusing, too complicated, and not intuitive.

This metronome has a few features that no other metronome provides, namely the random muting and being able to create any rhythm. A few features that I would like to see in future updates are: 1. The ability to rearrange the rhythms created in the meter select area. Currently, if there are multiple meters selected and I want to change the order, I have to delete them and start again. I would like to be able to drag one meter and place it somewhere else in the line up. 2. A menu for different rhythmic units. Instead of having to cycle through in decreasing order of duration, I would prefer to open a menu with all available note values to save time when trying to select the right value. 3. 32nd notes! Currently, the shortest note value is the 16th septuplet. It would be nice to just add one more value and get the 32nd note. 4. More control over the sounds of strong and weak beats. Currently, there are a lot of options for different timbres, but there is no way to change the sound of beats 1 and 2, for example. Hopefully the developers will be able to continue the innovation that this metronome has already demonstrated.

Being able to control the random number of beats left out is the best thing to ever be added to a metronome....ever. I just wish the app would rotate when my device is on it's side. Small annoyance for the best metronome in the world.

This has been a favorite of mine for a while.

My stop/starts and syncopation improved tons if you've ever wanted to play drum n bass beats but get tripped up this breaks it all down you'll be pulling ridiculous ancient Mayan black magic pentagram beats in no time. Rhythms from another dimension basically. I was playing one beat and it kept evolving and evolving until I was thinking is this actually real? Is it happening? That's how it cool it is.

The UI isn't very intuitive (I've been playing music for 40 years), otherwise well worth the money.

No sounds at all.

This is the exact tool I've been needing for years. Thank you!!

Exactly what you need

The flexibility, features, and ease of use make this metronome one of the best you can buy. The random mute feature is worth the purchase price alone. Overall, it is a wonderful practice tool for the musician wanting to focus intensely on time.

That's all

Buy it, use it!

This is my go to metronome. Easy to adjust and tap in tempo. Dropped beats is a cool feature, great for strengthening internal time sense. Easy controls. Love it.

PLEASE develop for ipad!

Not the most intuitive interface but once you figure it out you'll have everything you'll ever need. Excellent for tougher sub divisions like 5s and 7s. Never buy another physical metronome!

I'd love to see 2 eighth notes per beat as an option in the 3rd row, or 4 16th notes. It's a pretty cool app though :)

And easy to use!

it’s only been 6 months now :( great app!!! was worth the money .. .. but i can’t with good conscience, give this any more than 2 stars due to neglecting the iphone 10

Thanks for creating this great app.

Love it.

Buy the full version of PRO METRONOME! Not guru, pro metronome is clean and awesome and can do the fancy silence beat thing. This one is u*** and has no down beat.

While there are any number of metronomes on the App Store, the killer feature of this one is the customizable randomization of NOT playing every click, letting it act as a reminder instead of a crutch. Helps greatly in internalization of the best rather than relying on an external pulse.

The mute feature is fabulous and unique among metronomes. This feature is alone is worth the price of this app. But the meters are difficult for me to program. It's just not intuitive.

Excellent time training app. But burns up your battery.

So many features and possible ways of using it with a simple interface. The new ability to save patterns is invaluable. The only metronome around you'll ever need.

The metronome and function to ghost beats is great! The interface needs to be improved. There are no good options for subdivisions. Interface is generally clunky.

Very easy to use and saving the settings are useful for playing live.

This metronome app is perfect! If it had the ability to displace the beat, as in move the start of the rhythm to the 3rd sixteen note etc, it would be the end of all other metronomes.

Love it. Use it daily for teaching and my own practicing. Bravo, Avi!

Pretty cool app, but it's a battery sucker!!

Very straightforward to use but can do complex time-keeping. Nice clean graphics. A valuable and unique tool for time strengthening.

My go to metronome to practice time. Total perfection would be to add ability to increase the tempo by steps eg 10 bpm ever 10 bars

This app really can make you focus on your groove and get more in touch with your internal sense of time. Super easy to use. After using it to practice some basic stick exercises I feel like I got a real workout. Nice app! Random mute is where it is at!

wanted to like it but it's a hot mess. Just keep it simple!

Avi got it right! An incredible guitarist (from John Scofield's band) has come up with one of the most expansive and innovative practice tools yet! Get this and you'll never need another metronome ever!

Leaving random beats out is by far the best feature here, but everything is great. Can't recommend enough.

I literally never write reviews for apps. I’m a percussionist and have used dozens of metronome apps over the years. Once you learn how to setup groupings and patterns, guru is incredibly simple and incredibly powerful. Recommend to all my students and colleagues.

Well done people.

This metronome application is unbeatable! The interface is extremely simple to use, but it provides a wide array of different tools. This app can be used for anything from a simple metronome, too a more complex time keeping tool to help develop deeper rhythmic concepts. I recommend this app to any musician who is interested in developing their sense of time further.

It's good! Fun and a great way to practice.

Good app, but it needs to be able to get louder. It’s hard to hear when playing trumpet.

Anyone else having problems with this app draining battery? I'll go from full to zero if I run this on my iPhone 6s for two hours. And that's without the screen on!

Deep practice tool, indispensable

This app is amazing. It helps my timing a lot in ways that I couldn't even imagine - I'm not even a drummer -. I recommended this app to my drummers friends (some of them are famous), and they also LOVE it !!!!! 👍👍

there does not appear to be a simple explanation anywhere on line on how to use this thing. So its useless and very FRUSTRATING. I was trying to combine repetitive triplet/sixteenth notes and for the life of me... uggghhhh!!!!

Best met app ever. I recommend it to all my students and friends. Everyone switches over to it and never goes back. You can do everything and more with it.

Really on point app, has helped my time immensely since I got it. You can get really creative with the exercises you want to try because of its super flexible system.

Easy to use and infinite possibilities this little app is equal to many high priced sequencers and rhythm machines!

If you have always had trouble placing your inner subdivisions, this is the key. I was always getting the downbeats in time but my subdivisions were erratic. Not any more. Your brain is forced to fill in the missing gaps. Totally worth it. The only thing I don't like is the tap function has too much latency for accurate tempo reads. I have to turn the volume completely off to tap a tempo accurately, then turn the volume back on. This is still worth it. Absolutely the best for subdivision training.

Love idea, really messy
